A guide to Chicago conference rooms

One of the best things about looking for short-term rentals in Chicago is the fact that the city’s fascinating history, dating back to when it was incorporated in the 1830s, means that it’s home to iconic architecture from across the eras. Many of these buildings have spaces that can be rented out for meetings and other gatherings. Chicago is also set apart by being one of the biggest and most important cities in the United States (it’s the third most populous city in the country, after New York City and Los Angeles), but being significantly more affordable than its counterparts. This means Chicago residents can access the world-class culture, amenities, restaurants, arts, etc. they would find in other cities, but without breaking the bank. That affordability also extends to hourly rentals of conference rooms and meeting spaces. Keep reading as we delve into all the most important details about renting a conference room by the hour in Chicago, from a breakdown of Chicago neighborhoods/suburbs and their public transport options (including CTA train lines, Metra lines, and buses). We’ll also cover the key logistical aspects of finding and selecting a Chicago conference room rental, including budgetary expectations and seasonal weather.

Chicago neighborhoods/suburbs and their Public transportation options

Trying to decide which area of the city would be best for a conference room rental? We’ll help you out with an overview of Chicago’s various neighborhoods and suburbs, each of which has a distinctive vibe. It’s very likely that many of the conference room rentals you come across will be in Chicago’s central business district, which is called the Loop. It is known for its array of architecture and cultural landmarks (such as the Art Institute of Chicago) and can be reached on numerous Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) train lines as well as by Metra or bus. There are also quite a few conference room rentals available in River North, a neighborhood that’s set apart by its exciting nightlife, art galleries, and renowned upscale restaurants. You can get there on the Red or Brown CTA line or via several bus routes. For green spaces like those found in Lincoln Park (and the Lincoln Park Zoo!), visit the neighborhood of the same name. Lincoln Park also has cool independent shops and restaurants to choose from, and is accessible via the Brown, Red, and Purple CTA lines as well as by bus. If you’re seeking a location with a hip and eclectic feel, Bucktown and Wicker Park are your best bet for indie boutiques, music venues, cafes, and the like, and both neighborhoods are easy to reach on the Blue CTA line. Don’t forget about the suburbs as you consider where to plan your meeting, especially if you’re in search of a higher-end experience on a budget, as these areas tend to be more affordable than the heart of Chicago. Oak Park, for instance, has a vibrant cultural scene and famous architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright, which you can get to on the Metra’s Union Pacific West Line or the Green CTA line. Evanston is another suburban area of Chicago that offers a stunning lakefront and charming historic features, not to mention the famous Northwestern University. Visit Evanston on the Metra’s Union Pacific North Line or the Purple CTA line.

What to expect when budgeting for a Chicago conference room

The estimated cost of living in Chicago is about one-fifth higher than the United States’ average cost of living, but this actually makes it one of the more affordable big cities in the country. The fact that most things in Chicago cost less than they do in other major cities means that you’ll probably pay quite a bit less for a conference room rental in Chicago than you would in NYC, Los Angeles, and the like. But remember that your total venue cost can vary depending on the type of venue, how big it is, luxury features or lack thereof, the location, and included amenities. While conference room rentals in Chicago can vary from as low as $30 per hour (like this large focus room on Michigan Avenue) to as high as $400 or more (like this conference space in the Fulton Market District), most options are closer to the low end of that range. An estimated average price would be about $75 per hour.

Breaking down Chicago weather by season

Perhaps you’re hoping to have your meeting or other event in the great outdoors, or at least in a space with outdoor access. This means weather will be a concern. If your meeting isn’t happening in the summer months, keep in mind that Chicago can be extremely cold and snowy during the winter, with inclement weather peaking in January and February. The freezing nighttime temperatures don’t abate until May, when it finally begins to feel like summer again. Once you reach the summer, expect temperatures to reach an average of the low 80s by July, with rainy and drier periods throughout.
